Fall 2010, Room 4260, 14:10~17:00 Monday
Instructor: Kun-chan Lan
(this course is offered in English)

The aim of this course is to introduce some advanced topics in wireless networks, including Sensor Network, Delay Tolerant Network (DTN), Vehicular Ad-Hoc Network (VANET), Mobile Peer-to-Peer. The format of this course will be based on paper discussion and some hands-on laboratories. The aim of this course to enable students to learn how to combine materials learnt from class with real applications.

• Wireless sensor network
• Vehicular Ad-hoc Network
